..is there a way to change ..my text tones ..on the Iphone ...they have it for the ringtone...why not text tone ..feedback please

Settings>General>Sounds>Text Tone.
That's the list of provided text tones. I don't know if any you downloaded would be there. Might want to check with wherever you downloaded them from if they don't show up in the menu path I provided.

64GB iPhone 6, 64GB iPad Air 2.

Thank you for the quick input...I have checked there ..but it just gives me the basics and some new iphone tones...everyone else has ...
Everyone changes ..there tones trying to focus in on their own text sound..in the office ..but there are only a chosen few tones..in the text area ...there should be a place in the IPhone for personnel text tones ...Sounds like a good idea to me ...after all it is a Mac ....

In the office ...in public ...just dont want to keep reaching ..for my phone..if I hear a tone I read about a professional tones site ..in this forum ..www.iringpro.com...great site ..for ring tones ...the tones are so different..I use it for my ringtone ..

You can not add custom text tones to iOS at this point. It's the one thing I wish Apple would add, although I understand why it is not there.

Why would it be ...a problem..to have personnel text tones..Is it that much of a problem for Apple to do ..Is it worth it for me to ..JB...my phone to get personnel text tones...
A lot more people ...text more than they talk ..

Lets not forget that iOS is an offshoot of OSX itself. Customizing system tones and sounds on OSX is doable, but far more difficult than it should be. Unlike ring tones, the text tones, much like systems sounds in OSX, are in the core of the OS. They also have to be in a specific format (for OSX it's AIFF). Giving the user easy access to the core seems to me to be the issue (IMO). Changing it would probably require some sort rework in the core of the OS itself. I'm hoping that 10.7 and iOS 5 (or 6) address this.
